Ideas for a Vegetarian Easter?

[wondersofwine]

I like some of Vouvray's ideas. I was going to suggest Ratatouille. Another possibility if she eats fish is pecan or almond-encrusted trout. Also you could make a nice marinated salad with shoepeg corn, petit pois (baby peas), french-cut green beans, finely chopped onion and celery and bell pepper, and pimientos. Marinade is of vinegar (I like to use tarragon-flavored vinegar for this), salad oil and sugar. Marinade overnight and then drain before serving. Another suggestion is butternut squash risotto (I plan to make this this week) or a mushroom, or artichoke or hearts of palm risotto. You can buy the already chopped up hearts of palm in a jar and that saves some chopping time.
I have a recipe from a bed and breakfast in South Carolina that makes a festive hot fruit dish. I like to serve it with ham and au gratin potatoes but it can be served without the ham. Here's the link: http://www.virtualcities.com/ons/sc/m/scm61011.htm You might try it with 1/3 cup light corn syrup rather than 1/2 cup.
